🎧 Experiencing ringing in just one ear?

This condition, known as unilateral tinnitus, can stem from various causes, including earwax buildup, noise exposure, or more serious issues like Meniere’s disease or acoustic neuroma.

While often not an emergency, if your tinnitus is sudden, persistent, or accompanied by hearing loss or dizziness, it's crucial to consult a hearing specialist or other medical professional promptly. Early evaluation can help identify the cause and lead to effective treatment.
